Not really reloading...

I don't see where this really fits.

Anyway, I have had this tool for years and have used it when required with my Sharps rifles. Does anyone know who made these and if they or a similar tool are now available?

  
If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.

Ron Jordan (RJ Locking Handles) made this prototype camming tool for my 1874 Sharps rifle.

yes, something like that but not made of aluminum, rather steel and brass. The relief for the primers also looks a bit narrow.

Approx 20-25 years ago, I did a new product review of this type of tool for the journal.  It was at about the same time as our raffle of the Borchardt rifle, engraved by Ken Hurst and worked on by many of our members.

I’ve changed computers a couple of times since those days and no longer am able to access those files.  Maybe one of our long term members could access that article as I recall, we gave the samples away in a drawing, we had one for a high wall and one for a Sharps.

Yes. I have one just like it but for a Hepburn. I got it from someone named something like Longrider or some such on the old Shooters.com. That is as close as I can come up with. A very well made tool. $35 at the time.
